Perhaps tho most affecting thing Of all was
TO witness Umslopogaas' distress at parting
with Flossie, for whom the grim old warrior
had conceived strong affection. He used
TO say that she was as sweet to 500 as tho ouly
star on q dark night, and was never tired Of
loudly congratulating himself on having
killed the Lygonans who had threatened TO
murder her. And that was tho last syo eaw
OF the pleasant Mission louse--a true oaA3n
the desert-and Of European civilization.
But l often think OF the Mackenzcs, and
wonder how they got down eouiHx and If

After leaving the Mission house we made
our way comparatively unnolcsted pnst tho
base OF Mount Kenia, which tho Masai call
''Donyo Esere," or the specified mountain
on account Of tho black patches OF rock ths [ {
appear upon its mighty spire, where the sid.s
are too precipitous to allew OF the snow lying
on them; then on past the lonely lake Ba.

Askari, having unfortunately trodden upon

anr efforts TO save Aim. Thence we proceeded

liiicent snow clad mountain, called Iseka-
Sisera, which has never, to tho best Of my
belief, been visited before by European,
but which ] cannot now stop to describe.
There We rested n fortnight, aud then started
1ut into tho trackless md uninhabited forest
II vast district called Eigumi. On emerg-
ne from tho great Elgnni forest, we, still
tecring northward, in accordance with the
Information Mr.. Mackenzie had collected
